Source-resistance feedback works for JFETs and all types of MOSFETs (and
we used it for BJTs too). To increase the gain of the amplifier, part or all of
RS may be bypassed with a capacitor. Your author also states that a typical
value of RS that will provide a reasonable ID deviation is 10% of the value of
RD.
¾ If the drain current increases, the voltage drop across RD will also
increase, resulting in a decrease of the voltage at the drain (↓VDS).
¾ Since VGS=VDS, the voltage at the gate will also decrease, resulting in a
decrease in VGS.
¾ As in the previous feedback configuration, the decrease in VGS results in a
decrease in ID. Once again, we have negative feedback that tends to
reduce the original change in drain current.
